New Showbiz Analysis

No More Women is a typical 1930s adventure-comedy that prioritizes masculine rivalry and resource competition. The plot revolves around two divers competing for sunken gold and romantic attention, reinforcing the era's social hierarchies. The film upholds traditional gender roles. While Helen Young holds a position of professional authority, the narrative ultimately treats women as objects of male competition. Overall, the production adheres to the era's conventional norms. It lacks diverse representation across racial, cultural, and identity-based spectrums, focusing instead on a narrow, traditionalist worldview.

Official Synopsis

Two deep-sea divers, known only by their nicknames of "Three-Time" and "Forty-Fathoms," find that no place on earth is big enough for both of them at the same time, even the bottom of the ocean. All day long they fight to salvage sunken gold at forty fathoms deep in the ocean, and all night long they fight over dames. This situation continues even when they both go to work for Helen Young, the owner of a tug-boat and a salvage business.
